CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201510369121.8, filed Jun. 29, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies and, in particular, to an image displaying method.

BACKGROUND

At present, electronic display devices have been widely employed in various electronic appliances, such as a liquid crystal television, a liquid crystal display, a digital poster board, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a digital camera and an electronic book reader.

When viewing a flat display device laterally, a viewer will get an experience that the image displayed on the flat display device has been deformed. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, an image on the flat display device, which is viewed as a rectangle image from a front side, will be viewed as a trapezoidal compressed image from a lateral side. For some flat display devices that cannot be viewed from a front side thereof in use, for example, a rectangular semitransparent display device provided on a car windshield, an image on the display device viewed by a viewer is deformed, as shown in FIG. 2. In another example, for a non-flat display device, such as a flexible display device that is adhered to a curved wall, an image on the non-flat display device is viewed as distorted at any view angle. Because the image displayed by the display device is deformed in the above situations, the display effect of the display device is degraded.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a method for compensating a displayed image, in order to avoid the case that the displayed image is viewed as deformed when the display device is viewed from a lateral side or when the display device is distorted, so that the compensated image is viewed as having an undistorted size along a given direction at the view point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosure will be further illustrated in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It may be understood that, the specific embodiments described herein are only used for explaining the disclosure, rather than limiting the disclosure. Additionally, it should be noted that, for sake of description, only those parts related to the disclosure, rather than the whole structure, are shown in the drawings.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an image displaying method, and FIG. 3 is a schematic flow chart of the image displaying method, according to embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes Steps 110 to 140.

Step 110 includes obtaining an image to be displayed on a display device, and dividing equally the image to be displayed into a plurality of first sub-images along a first reference direction.

The number of the first sub-images is not limited in the embodiments of the disclosure, and generally, the higher the number of the first sub-images of the image is, the finer the image as displayed will be, and the better the display effect of a curved display device will be.

Step 120 includes obtaining position information of a view point relative to the display device, an angle of sight line and parameter information of a first virtual section line segment of the display device, where the first virtual section line segment has two endpoints located on the frame of the display device, is extended along the first reference direction, and passes through an intersection of the sight line and the display device.

For example, in the case of the flat display device adhered to a car windshield, a viewer is at a lateral side relative to the display device and views the display device sideways, as shown in FIG. 2, so that the image viewed by the viewer at the view point is deformed. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a first virtual section line segment of a display device. As shown in FIG. 4, the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is parallel to the first reference direction and passes through the intersection F of the sight line OF and the display device. The parameter information of the first virtual section line segment of the display device may include information such as the length of the first virtual section line segment, coordinates of endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the equation of the first virtual section line segment. The display device is illustratively selected as a flat display device in FIG. 4; however, the disclosure is not limited thereto, for example, the display device may be a flat display device or a curved surface display device.

Step 130 includes calculating a compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment.

Although the image to be displayed on the display device is divided equally into the plurality of first sub-images along the first reference direction, the plurality of first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having different sizes along the first reference direction and being subjected to deformation to a certain degree. Therefore, the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image needs to be obtained in Step 130. In embodiments, the compensation ratio may be calculated from the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment obtained in the previous step.

Step 140 includes compensating each first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction according to the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for the first sub-image of the image, and displaying the image on the display device, so that the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the first reference direction.

As such, after the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed is calculated in Step 130, each first sub-image of the image is compensated along the first reference direction according to the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for the first sub-image of the image, and is displayed on the display device, so that the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the first reference direction. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the compensation for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed along the first reference direction according to an embodiment of the disclosure, and shows a sectional view taken along the first virtual section line segment S1S2 of FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 5, illustratively, the image to be displayed is divided equally into five first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3 along the first reference direction, and the lengths of the five first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3 along the first reference direction are identical. The compensation ratios along the first reference direction for the first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3 are calculated in Step 130 as k_(B2), k_(B1), k_(A1), k_(A2) and k_(A3), respectively, so that compensated first sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ are obtained through multiplying the lengths of the first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3 along the first reference direction by the corresponding compensation ratios k_(B2), k_(B1), k_(A1), k_(A2) and k_(A3) along the first reference direction. Referring to FIG. 5, the compensated first sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the first reference direction. At this time, the actual lengths of the compensated first sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ displayed by the display device along the first reference direction are represented by L_(B2′), L_(B1′), L_(A1′), L_(A2′) and L_(A3′), respective, where L_(B2′)≠L_(B1′)≠L_(A1′)≠L_(A2′)≠L_(A3′). However, the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same length along the first reference direction, that is, the eyes of the viewer at the view point perceive that the compensated first sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ have the same length X0 along the first reference direction, thereby avoiding the case that the displayed image is viewed as deformed when the display device is viewed laterally or is distorted. Because the angle of sight line is involved in the above calculation, the case that an image displayed on a display device is viewed deformed when the display device is laterally viewed may be avoided by the above method regardless of whether the viewer aims at the center of the display device or not.

Based on the above embodiments, the size of each compensated first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction is larger than or equal to the size of one sub-pixel of the display device along the first reference direction. In such configurations, advantageously, each compensated first sub-image of the image can be completely displayed on the display device, thus avoiding the problem that some region cannot be displayed since the compensated first sub-image of the image is smaller than the size of one sub-pixel, because the first sub-images equally divided from the image along the first reference direction are excessive.

Embodiments of the disclosure further provide an image displaying method, which is based on the above embodiments and is an optimized variant of the above embodiments, and the method further includes:

Step 210 of dividing equally the image to be displayed into a plurality of second sub-images along a second reference direction perpendicular to the first reference direction;

Step 220 of obtaining parameter information of a second virtual section line segment of the display device, where the second virtual section line segment has two endpoints located on the frame of the display device, is extended along the second reference direction, and passes through the intersection of the sight line and the display device;

Step 230 of calculating a compensation ratio along the second reference direction for each second sub-image of the image according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the second virtual section line segment; and

Step 240 of compensating each second sub-image of the image along the second reference direction according to the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for the second sub-image of the image, and displaying the image on the display device, so that the compensated second sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the second reference direction.

It should be noted that, Step 210, Step 220, Step 230 and Step 240 may be performed simultaneously with Step 110, Step 120, Step 130 and Step 140, respectively, or Step 210, Step 220, Step 230 and Step 240 may be performed alternatively with Step 110, Step 120, Step 130 and Step 140.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the first virtual section line segment and the second virtual section line segment of a display device, according to embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, an intersection F of the sight line OF and the display device is present, the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is parallel to the first reference direction and passes through the intersection F, and the second virtual section line segment S3S4 is parallel to the second reference direction and passes through the intersection F.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the compensation along the second reference direction for each second sub-image of an image to be displayed, according to embodiments of the disclosure, and shows a sectional view taken along the second virtual section line segment S3S4 in FIG. 6. In embodiments of the disclosure, in addition that each first sub-image of the image to be displayed is compensated along the first reference direction, each second sub-image of the image is also compensated along the second reference direction. As for the compensation for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed along the first reference direction, reference can be made to FIG. 5 and the corresponding description, which will not be described again here. As shown in FIG. 7, illustratively, the image to be displayed is divided equally into six second sub-images C3, C2, C1, D1, D2 and D3 along the second reference direction, and the lengths of the six second sub-images along the second reference direction are equal to each other. The compensation ratios along the second reference direction for the second sub-images C3, C2, C1, D1, D2 and D3 are calculated in Step 230 as λ_(C3), λ_(C2), λ_(C1), λ_(D1), λ_(D2) and λ_(D3), respectively, so that compensated second sub-images C3′, C2′, C1′, D1′, D2′, D3′ are obtained through multiplying the lengths of the second sub-images C3, C2, C1, D1, D2, D3 along the second reference direction by the corresponding compensation ratios λ_(C3), λ_(C2), λ_(C1), λ_(D1), λ_(D2) and λ_(D3) along the second reference direction. That is, the lengths L_(C3′), L_(C2′), L_(C1′), L_(D1′), L_(D2′) and L_(D3′) of the compensated second sub-images C3′, C2′, C1′, D1′, D2′, D3′ along the second reference direction are respectively equal to the lengths of the second sub-images C3, C2, C1, D1, D2 and D3 along the second reference direction respectively multiplied by the corresponding compensation ratios λ_(C3), λ_(C2), λ_(C1), λ_(D1), λ_(D2) and λ_(D3) along the second reference direction. Thus, the compensated second sub-images C3′, C2′, C1′, D1′, D2′, D3 displayed by the display device respectively have actual lengths L_(C3′), L_(C2′), L_(C1′), L_(D1′), L_(D2′) and L_(D3′) along the second reference direction, where L_(C3′)≠L_(C2′)≠L_(C1′)≠L_(D1′)≠L_(D2′)≠L_(D3′). However, the compensated second sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same length along the second reference direction, that is, the eyes of the viewer at the view point perceive that the compensated second sub-images C3′, C2′, C1′, D1′, D2′ and D3′ have the same length Y0 along the second reference direction, thereby avoiding the case that the displayed image is viewed as deformed along the second reference direction when the display device is viewed laterally or is distorted. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the problem of deformation of the displayed image in both the first reference direction and the second reference direction is solved.

It should be noted that the image to be displayed is illustratively divided equally into six second sub-images along the second reference direction in FIG. 7, but the embodiments of the disclosure are not limited thereto. In embodiments of the disclosure, the number of second sub-images divided equally from the image to be displayed along the second reference direction is not limited. Generally, the higher the number of the second sub-images of the image is, the finer the image as displayed will be, and the better the display effect of a curved display device will be.

Based on the above embodiments, further, the size of each compensated second sub-image of the image along the second reference direction is larger than or equal to the size of one sub-pixel of the display device along the second reference direction. In such configurations, advantageously, each compensated second sub-image of the image can be completely displayed on the display device, thus avoiding the problem that some region cannot be displayed since the compensated second sub-images of the image is smaller than the size of one sub-pixel, because the second sub-images divided equally from the image along the second reference direction are excessive.

Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the position information of the view point relative to the display device and the angle of sight line are obtained by at least two cameras.

It should be noted that the type and shape of the display device is not limited in the embodiments of the disclosure, for example, the display device may be a flat display device or a curved surface display device, or may be a flexible display device. Thus, the first virtual section line segment of the display device may be a virtual straight line segment or a virtual curved line segment, and the second virtual section line segment of the display device may also be a virtual straight line segment or a virtual curved line segment.

Based on above embodiments, embodiments of the disclosure further provide a method for calculating the compensation ratio along a first reference direction for each first sub-image of an image to be displayed, and the method is applicable to the case in which the first virtual section line segment of the display device is straight. FIG. 8 is a schematic flow chart of calculating the compensation ratio along a first reference direction for each first sub-image of an image to be displayed, according to embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, in the case that the first virtual section line segment of the display device is a virtual straight line segment, calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment includes Steps 310 to 340 below.

Step 310 includes calculating an angle between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment, an angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and an angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is a virtual straight line segment, the angle θ is formed between the sight line OF and the first virtual section line segment S1S2, the angle θ1 is formed between the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and the line OS1 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S1 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2, and the angle θ2 is formed between the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and the line OS2 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S2 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2.

Step 320 includes determining a first virtual display plane according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment.

As shown in FIG. 5, the length of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is represented as L1, thus, the distance OP from the view point O to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 of the display device can be obtained as

${OP} = \frac{L\; {1 \cdot \tan}\; \theta \; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}$

if θ2≦θ1 illustratively, or

${OP} = \frac{L\; {1 \cdot \tan}\; {\theta 2}}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{2}}{\tan \; \theta_{1}} + 1}$

if

${\theta \; 2} \geq {\theta \; 1{\frac{L\; 1a{{??}{tan??2}}}{\frac{\tan {{??}2}}{\tan {{??}1}} + 1}.}}$

Here, a line passing through the view point O and the point P on the extension line of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is perpendicular to the first virtual section line segment S1S2. The first virtual display plane M1N1 includes the point P and is perpendicular to the sight line OF.

Step 330 includes dividing equally the first virtual display plane into a plurality of first elemental display units along a first direction, and obtaining the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction, where the plurality of first elemental display units correspond to the plurality of first sub-images, respectively, and the first direction is the extension direction of a projection of the first virtual section line segment onto the first virtual display plane.

The first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided into two parts with respect to the sight line OF, that is, a part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 above the sight line OF and a part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 below the sight line OF. A projection of a line segment FS1 from the endpoint S1 to the intersection F, which is above the sight line OF, onto the first virtual display plane M1N1 is represented as Xup, and a projection of a line segment FS2 from the endpoint S2 to the intersection F, which is below the sight line OF, onto the first virtual display plane M1N1 is represented as Xdown, where, the lengths of the line segment FS1, the line segment FS2, the projection Xup, and the projection Xdown are calculated as follows:

${{{FS}\; 1} = {\frac{L\; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}\left( {1 + {\tan \; \theta_{1}\cot \; \theta}} \right)}};$ ${{{FS}\; 2} = {\frac{L\; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{2}}{\tan \; \theta_{1}} + 1}\left( {1 - {\tan \; \theta_{2}\cot \; \theta}} \right)}};$ ${{Xup} = {\frac{L\; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; {\theta \cdot \frac{{\sin \; \theta} + {\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \cos}\; \theta}}{{\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; \theta} - {\cos \; \theta}}}}};$ ${Xdown} = {\frac{L\; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{2}}{\tan \; \theta_{1}} + 1}\tan \; {\theta_{2} \cdot \sin}\; {\theta \cdot {\frac{{\sin \; \theta} + {\tan \; {\theta_{2} \cdot \cos}\; \theta}}{{\tan \; {\theta_{2} \cdot \sin}\; \theta} - {\cos \; \theta}}.}}}$

As such, the first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided equally into a plurality of first elemental display units along the first direction. For example, the part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 above the sight line OF corresponds to the projection Xup and includes m first elemental display units, so that the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction is calculated as

${X\; 0} = {\frac{Xup}{m} = {{\frac{1}{m} \cdot \frac{L\; 1}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}}\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; {\theta \cdot {\frac{{\sin \; \theta} + {\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \cos}\; \theta}}{{\tan \; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; \theta} - {\cos \; \theta}}.}}}}$

Illustratively, the first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided equally into five first elemental display units along the first direction, where the part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponding to the projection Xup includes three first elemental display units, and the part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponding to the projection Xdown includes two first elemental display units. The five first elemental display units, i.e. first elemental display units W2, W1, X1, X2 and X3 disposed sequentially along the first direction, each have a length X0 along the first direction. Moreover, each of the first elemental display units corresponds to one of the first sub-images, so that the first elemental display units W2, W1, X1, X2 and X3 correspond to the first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3, respectively.

Step 340 includes calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed, according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction.

In embodiments, the compensation ratio k along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed is calculated according to the length L1 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2, the angle θ between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment S1S2, the angle θ1 between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ2 between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the length X0 of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction. Then the length of each first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction is compensated through multiplying the length of the first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction by the corresponding compensation ratio k, so that the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the first reference direction. Illustratively, the first compensated sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ are obtained through multiplying the lengths of the first sub-images B2, B1, A1, A2 and A3 by the corresponding compensation ratios k, respectively, and the compensated first sub-images B2′, B1′, A1′, A2′ and A3′ are viewed at the view point as having the same size X0.

In some embodiments, Step 340 of calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed includes Steps 341 to 343 below.

Step 341 includes calculating the distance from the intersection of the sight line and the display device to the view point and the distance from the view point to the first virtual display plane, according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the distance OF from the intersection F of the sight line and the display device to the view point O is calculated as

${{OF} = {{C\; 1} = {\frac{{L\; {1 \cdot \tan}\; \theta_{1}}\;}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}\csc \; \theta}}},{{OF} = {{C\; 1} = {\frac{{L\; {1 \cdot \tan}\; \theta_{1}}\;}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}\csc \; \theta}}},$

and the distance OG from the view point O to the first virtual display plane M1N1 is calculated as

${OG} = {{C\; 3} = {{\frac{{L\; 1}\;}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1} \cdot \tan}\; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; {\theta.}}}$

Step 342 includes determining a positioning sequence number of each first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the first virtual section line segment and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction.

As shown in FIG. 5, taking the sight line OF as a reference line and starting from the intersection F of the sight line OF and the first virtual section line segment S1S2, the first sub-images A1, A2 and A3 are arranged and numbered in sequence along the first reference direction, and the first sub-images B1 and B2 are arranged and numbered in sequence along a direction opposite to the first reference direction. It should be noted that, in FIG. 5, five first sub-images are provided illustratively for ease of description, but the embodiments of the disclosure are not limited thereto. Generally, given that the first sub-images of the image to be displayed are arranged along the first reference direction, the sight line is used as a reference line and the intersection F is used as a start point, the first sub-images are arranged and numbered in sequence along the first reference direction and a direction opposite thereto, respectively. For example, if M first sub-images are arranged along the first reference direction starting from the intersection F, and N first sub-images are arranged along a direction opposite to the first reference direction starting from the intersection F, the positioning sequence numbers of the first sub-images along the first reference direction are set as BN, BN-1, BN-2, . . . , B2, B1, A1, A2, . . . , AM-1, AM, where, M and N are both integers larger than 1.

Step 343 includes calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed, according to the positioning sequence number of each first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction, the distance from the projection of the view point onto the display device to the view point, the distance from the view point to the first virtual display plane, and the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction.

Given the positioning sequence number of each first sub-image of the image to be displayed along the first reference direction, the distance from the projection of the view point onto the display device to the view point, the distance from the view point to the first virtual display plane, and the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction, the compensation ratio k may be calculated by a specific calculating formula as follows:

${{Kn} = {\frac{C\; {1 \cdot n \cdot X}\; 0}{{C\; {3 \cdot \sin}\; \theta} + {\cos \; {\theta \cdot n \cdot X}\; 0}} - \frac{C\; {1 \cdot \left( {n - 1} \right)}}{{C\; {3 \cdot \sin}\; \theta} + {\cos \; {\theta \cdot \left( {n - 1} \right) \cdot X}\; 0}}}},$

where n is a positive integer, and nε[1,N] or nε[1, M], and

${{C\; 1} = {\frac{{L\; {1 \cdot \tan}\; \theta_{1}}\;}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1}\csc \; \theta}},{{C\; 3} = {{\frac{{L\; 1}\;}{\frac{\tan \; \theta_{1}}{\tan \; \theta_{2}} + 1} \cdot \tan}\; {\theta_{1} \cdot \sin}\; {\theta.}}}$

Herein, n represents the positioning sequence number of the first sub-image of the image along the first reference direction, for example, the compensation ratio K2 for the first sub-image B₂ along the first reference direction is calculated as:

${K\; 2} = {\frac{C\; {1 \cdot 2 \cdot X}\; 0}{{C\; {3 \cdot \sin}\; \theta} + {\cos \; {\theta \cdot 2 \cdot X}\; 0}} - \frac{C\; {1 \cdot \left( {2 - 1} \right)}}{{C\; {3 \cdot \sin}\; \theta} + {\cos \; {\theta \cdot \left( {2 - 1} \right) \cdot X}\; 0}}}$

Based on the above embodiments, embodiments of the disclosure further provide another method for calculating the compensation ratio along a first reference direction for each first sub-image of an image to be displayed on a display device, and the method is applicable to the case in which the first virtual section line segment of the display device is a virtual curved line segment. FIG. 10 is a schematic flow chart showing another method for calculating the compensation ratio along a first reference direction for each first sub-image of an image to be displayed, according to embodiments of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, in the case that the first virtual section line segment of the display device is a virtual curved line segment, the step of calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed, according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, includes Steps 510 to 540 below.

Step 510 includes calculating an angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, an angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, an angle between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and a tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and an angle between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and a tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, according to the position information of the view point relative to the display device, the angle of sight line and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a method for calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of an image to be displayed. As shown in FIG. 11, two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 are represented as S1 and S2. The first virtual section line segment S1S2 is curved, and the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 is obtained by taking the endpoint S1 as the origin of a coordinate system with two coordinate axes X and Y perpendicular to each other; generally, a curved line may be represented by polynomial fitting through an equation as below:

${y = {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {D_{i} \cdot x^{}} \right)}},\; {n = 0},1,2,{3\mspace{14mu} \ldots}\mspace{11mu},$

which equation is herein used for expressing the first virtual section line segment S1S2.

Thus, coordinates of the endpoint S1 are (0,0); an equation of the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S1 is represented by y=D₁·x, where D1 denotes the slope of the tangent line at the endpoint S1; coordinates of the endpoint S2 are (x_(S2), y_(S2)); and an equation of the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S2 is represented by y−y_(S2)=Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D₁·x_(S2) ⁻¹)(x·x_(S2)), where Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D1·x_(S2) ^(i-1)) denotes the slope of the tangent line at the endpoint S2, and n is an integer equal to or larger than 0, i.e. n=0, 1, 2, 3, . . . .

An angle θ1 is formed between the line OS1 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S1 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and the tangent line y=D₁·x to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S1; an angle θ2 is formed between the line OS2 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S2 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and the tangent line y−y_(S2)=Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D₁·x_(S2) ^(i-1))(x·x_(S2)), n=0, 1, 2, 3 . . . to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S2; an angle θ3 is formed between the sight line OF and the line OS1 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S1 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2; and an angle θ4 is formed between the sight line OF and the line OS2 connecting the view point O to the endpoint S2 of the first virtual section line segment S1S2.

Step 520 includes determining a first virtual display plane according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, and the angle between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment;

Therefore, the position of the first virtual display plane M1N1 is calculated, according to the above curved line equation of the first virtual section line segment obtained, the angle θ3 between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ4 between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ1 between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ2 between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, where, the first virtual display plane M1N1 is perpendicular to the sight line OF.

In some embodiments, Step 520 of determining the first virtual display plane includes Steps 521 to 522 below.

Step 521 includes determining the coordinates of the view point, the coordinates of the intersection of the sight line and the display device, and the coordinates of an intersection of the sight line and the first virtual display plane, according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints, and the angle between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints.

The inclined angle of the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S1 is obtained as arctan D1.

The inclined angle of the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment S1S2 at the endpoint S2 is obtained as

arctan [Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D _(i) ·x _(S2) ^(i=1))], n=1,2,3, . . . .

The inclined angle of the line OS1 is obtained as θ1+arctan D1−π.

The inclined angle of the line OS2 is obtained as

arctan [Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D _(i) ·x _(S2) ^(i=1))]−θ2, n=1,2,3, . . . .

The equation of the line OS1 is obtained as

y=·x=tan(θ1+arctan D1)·x.

The equation of the line OS2 is obtained as

y−y _(S2)=tan {arctan [Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(i·D _(i) ·x _(S2) ^(i=1))]−θ2}·(x−x _(S2)), n=1,2,3, . . . .

The coordinates (x_(O), y_(O)) of the view point O can be calculated by the above parameters as:

$\quad{\begin{bmatrix} {\frac{y_{S2} - {\tan {\left\{ {{\arctan \left\lbrack {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {i \cdot D_{i} \cdot x_{S\; 2}^{i = 1}} \right)} \right\rbrack} - {\theta \; 2}} \right\} \cdot x_{S\; 2}}}}{{\tan \left( {{\theta \; 1} + {{\arctan D}\; 1}} \right)} - {\tan \left\{ {{\arctan \left\lbrack {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {i \cdot D_{i} \cdot x_{S\; 2}^{i = 1}} \right)} \right\rbrack} - {\theta \; 2}} \right\}}},} \\ {{\tan \left( {{\theta \; 1} + {{\arctan D}\; 1}} \right)} \cdot \frac{y_{S2} - {\tan {\left\{ {{\arctan \left\lbrack {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {i \cdot D_{i} \cdot x_{S\; 2}^{i = 1}} \right)} \right\rbrack} - {\theta \; 2}} \right\} \cdot x_{S\; 2}}}}{\begin{matrix} {{\tan \left( {{\theta \; 1} + {{\arctan D}\; 1}} \right)} -} \\ {\tan \left\{ {{\arctan \left\lbrack {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {i \cdot D_{i} \cdot x_{S\; 2}^{i = 1}} \right)} \right\rbrack} - {\theta \; 2}} \right\}} \end{matrix}}} \end{bmatrix}.}$

The inclined angle of the sight line OF is obtained as

θ1+θ3+arctan D1−π.

The equation of the sight line OF is obtained as

y−y _(O)=tan(θ1+θ3+arctan D1−π)·(x−x _(O)).

The coordinates (x_(F), y_(F)) of the intersection F of the sight line OF and the display device is deducted from the equation below:

$ {\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{y - y_{0}} = {{\tan \left( {{\theta \; 1} + {\theta \; 3} + {\arctan \; D\; 1} - \pi} \right)} \cdot \left( {x - x_{o}} \right)}} \\ { {{y = {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\left( {D_{i} \cdot x^{i}} \right)}},\; {n = 0},1,2,{3\mspace{14mu} \ldots}}} \end{matrix} \right.}$

The coordinates of the intersection G of the sight line OF and the first virtual display plane M1N1 are obtained as

(x _(G) ,y _(G))=(x _(O) −a·(x _(O) −x _(F)),y _(O) −a(y _(O) −y _(F))),

where,

${a = \frac{OG}{OF}},$

such as a=0.5.

Step 522 includes determining the first virtual display plane according to the coordinates of the view point, the coordinates of the intersection of the sight line and the display device, and the coordinates of an intersection of the sight line and the first virtual display plane.

According to the parameters obtained in the above steps, the equation of the first virtual display plane is obtained as:

y−y _(G)=−cot(θ1+θ3+arctan D1)·(x−x _(G)).

Step 530 includes dividing equally the first virtual display plane into a plurality of first elemental display units along a first direction, and obtaining position information of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction, where the plurality of first elemental display units correspond to the plurality of first sub-images, respectively, and the first direction is the extension direction of a projection of the first virtual section line segment onto the first virtual display plane;

Referring to FIG. 11, the first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided equally into a plurality of first elemental display units along the first direction. The first direction is the extension direction of the projection of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 onto the first virtual display plane M1N1. The first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided into two parts with respect to the sight line OF, that is, a part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 on the left of the sight line OF and a part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 on the right of the sight line OF. A projection of a virtual curved line segment FS1 from the endpoint S1 to the intersection F, which is a part of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and on the left of the sight line OF, onto the first virtual display plane M1N1 is represented as X_(left), and a projection of a virtual curved line segment FS2 from the endpoint S2 to the intersection F, which is a part of the first virtual section line segment S1S2 and on the right of the sight line OF, onto the first virtual display plane M1N1 is represented as X_(right). Illustratively, the first virtual display plane M1N1 is divided equally into seven first elemental display units along the first direction, and the length of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction is represented as X0. The part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponding to the projection X_(left) includes two first elemental display units X2 and X1, and the part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponding to the projection X_(right) includes five first elemental display units W1, W2, W3, W4 and W5, thus, the first elemental display units X2, X1, W1, W2, W3, W4 and W5 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the seven first elemental display units correspond to the plurality of first sub-images, respectively. For example, the projection X_(left) of the virtual curved line segment FS1 onto the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponds two first elemental display units X1 and X2 each having a length X0 along the first direction, so that the coordinates of the endpoints of each of first elemental display units along the first direction can be calculated. As shown in FIG. 11, the coordinates of the edge point b1 of the first elemental display unit X1 away from the sight line OF in the first direction and the coordinates of the edge point b2 (which overlaps a point M1 at the edge of the first virtual display plane M1N1) of the first elemental display unit X2 away from the sight line OF in the first direction are calculated as:

(x _(b1) ,y _(b1))=(x _(G) +x _(b0) ,y _(G) +y _(b0)), and

(x _(b2) ,y _(b2))=(x _(G)+2x _(b0) ,y _(G)+2y _(b0)).

If the part of the first virtual display plane M1N1 corresponding to the projection X_(left) contains m first elemental display units, the coordinates of the edge point bm of the first elemental display unit Xm away from the sight line OF in the first direction may be calculated as (x_(bm),y_(bm))=(x_(G)+mx_(b0),y_(G)+my_(b0)),

where,

$\left\{ {\begin{matrix} {x_{b\; 0} = {X\; 0{\sin \left( {{\theta 1} + {\theta 3} + {\arctan \; D\; 1}} \right)}}} \\ {y_{b\; 0} = {{- X}\; 0{\cos \left( {{\theta 1} + {\theta 3} + {\arctan \; D\; 1}} \right)}}} \end{matrix}.} \right.$

Step 540 includes calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed, according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints, and the position information of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction;

As such, the compensation ratio k along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed may be calculated according to the above equation of the first virtual section line segment

y=Σ_(i=1) ^(n)(D_(i)·x^(i)), n=0, 1, 2, 3 . . . , the angle θ3 between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ4 between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle θ1 between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints, the angle θ2 between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints, and the position information of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction (that is, the coordinates of the endpoints of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction), and used to adjust the length of each first sub-image along the first reference direction, so that the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size along the first reference direction. The compensated first sub-image is obtained by multiplying the length of the first sub-image by the corresponding compensation ratio k. Since the compensated first sub-images are viewed at the view point as having the same size X0 along the first reference direction, the problem of image deformation caused by a distorted display device can be solved.

In some embodiments, Step 540 of calculating the compensation ratio along the first reference direction for each first sub-image of the image to be displayed includes Steps 541 to 542 below.

Step 541 includes calculating an arc length of a projection of each of first elemental display units onto the display device along the first reference direction, according to the parameter information of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the sight line and a line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and one of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the one of the two endpoints, the angle between the line passing through both the view point and the other of the two endpoints of the first virtual section line segment and the tangent line to the first virtual section line segment at the other of the two endpoints, and the position information of each of the first elemental display units along the first direction.

According to the coordinates of the edge points b1 and b2 of the first elemental display units X1 and X2 away from the sight line in the first direction, which are calculated as (x_(B1),y_(B1))=(x_(G)+x_(B0),y_(G)+y_(B0)) and (x_(B2),y_(B2))=(x_(G)+2x_(B0),y_(G)+2y_(B0)) as above, and the coordinates (x_(O), y_(O)) of the view point
